John 13:7 Jesus replied, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.”
I’ve mentioned before that understanding is important to me. If you do something in a way I would not have done, I want to know why—not because I think you’re wrong, but because I am genuinely curious to know your thought process. Sometimes I think Jesus replies to me often, “You don’t understand now what I am doing, but someday you will.” As much as my inquisitive side wants to know, I have to wait, trust, and have faith In my Savior.
1 Cor 13:12a Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.
I’m pretty sure that by the time I can understand all the answers to the many, many questions I have about the way life works, they will no longer be important. For now, I fumble through, doing the best I can to trust in my sovereign, loving Savior, even when life makes no sense from this side.
1 Cor 13:12b All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for Your love and compassion. Thank You that even when I don’t have answers, I have Your grace and mercy. Help me always to step out in faith when You call me beyond my comfort zone. When I can’t see the bigger picture, help me to always trust the One who can. Draw me closer. Amen.
2 Cor 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight.
Have a blessed day.
